Are Hobnobs suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. McVitie's lists them as suitable for vegetarians and says they contain no artificial colours or flavours.

What are Milk Chocolate Hobnobs made of?

A rolled oat and wholemeal biscuit base, about 45% oat and wholemeal, coated with milk chocolate on one side.

Do they contain gluten or milk?

Yes. They are wheat-based biscuits coated in milk chocolate, so they are not suitable for gluten-free or dairy-free diets.

How do they compare with chocolate digestives?

Hobnobs have a coarser, oatier crunch and a nuttier taste; chocolate digestives are smoother and lighter. Hobnobs are the heartier of the two.

How should I store them?

Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place. Warmth softens the chocolate and can cause it to bloom.

Our take on the Mcvitie's Hobnobs Milk Chocolate Biscuits 262g

McVitie's Milk Chocolate Hobnobs are rough-textured oat and wholemeal biscuits with a milk chocolate coating on one side. The biscuit is about 45% oats and wholemeal, which gives it a dense, crumbly crunch and a nutty flavor that holds up under the chocolate. It suits people who like hearty oat biscuits rather than light, buttery ones. Against plain digestive biscuits it is sweeter and more indulgent; against chocolate digestives, the oat base is coarser and less refined.
